Chipping for Par instead of dropping for Bogey

Those of you around CCN have been able to observe the progress and the completion of our big summer project on 15.  I'm happy to report that it is 99% completed with only a little landscaping to add to hid the underground drainage pipe ends on either side.  I'm not going to write a whole lot just give you a picture sequence so you can see the transformation. Don't worry if some of this sequence looks like the previous posting, I'm reusing some of it to help tell the story.

This is the area before anything was done. I had some surveyors come out and define where the Club's property was.


The first order of business was to clear out the invasive pepper trees.




Next I had a drain pipe installed and fill hauled in to cover the pipe. Thanks to our friends at Moorings Park for supplying the dirt, and Dave Benson for arraigning for us to get it at no cost, I had almost 35 truck loads of dirt hauled in to fill the area.




After the dirt was hauled in it was time to irrigate


Then reshape one more time


And then just add grass...about 1.5 semi trucks worth of grass





We cleaned up the edge and added mulch to dress it up



We have also removed the unused cart path on hole 8 where everyone exits the fairway near the green and expanded the cart path by 9 tees

You can see here where the staff removed the old cart path material, backfilled with good soil and sodded the area.


Here is the new cart path location


My staff still needs to add some cart path material capping to the new cart path but the new routing should be much better.
